Category Archives: HOMEWORK

All groups have spelling words for after half term. The learning council have set homework to discuss our ‘learning powers’ with an adult at home.

This week we will also be working on the 500 words Radio 2 writing competition which many in the class are keen to enter. I will take these in on Wednesday at the latest for feedback before half term so that they can be typed and submitted from home. Although we will have time in class to work on the stories, some finishing off and checking your own work should be done for homework before Wednesday. 

P6 should be continuing to read 20 minutes every night. This weeks task will be to think about your home reading book and pretend one of the characters has either committed a crime or  missing. You will create a wanted/missing poster. Look at the examples bellow.

Dojo points will be awarded to people that include lots of detail. Please just do this on blank paper. This can be supplied from school if anybody needs it.

Please note that all children have been given a new spelling jotter if they had lost theirs. All the children now should have a spelling jotter for their homework. Can you please ensure that they are bring their homework into school on a Monday to be marked so that I can return their jotters marked on a Tuesday.

Maths

Please continue with your learnits at home.

This term we are focusing on the 4 x table, if you could practise this new table as well as the 3x table that would be much appreciated. Remember that the children should know the answers as fast as the learn-its.

If there are any children who need their learnits updated please let me know.

Following on from the work we were doing in class on the Scots language. Please take a pop song, nursery rhyme or any song you want (as long as it is appropriate for school) and change into Scots. You are not allowed to do Taylor Swift ‘shake it off’ as we have already looked at this in class.

Due for next Thursday!

For example:

Ye pit your richt airm in,

In, oot

Shak it aw aboot.
